The 2025 Recovery Month Toolkit is Live!

September is Recovery Month, a time when we celebrate the millions of Americans who are in recovery and remind those struggling with mental health and substance use issues that recovery is REAL (Restoring Every Aspect of Life).

Use the Recovery Month Toolkit to learn more about recovery resources and how to share a message of hope with your audiences. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in or seeking recovery from mental and substance use disorders.

What’s in the Toolkit?

• Key Messages and Weekly Themes to help you create impactful content for various audiences.
• Social Media Shareables, including posts, graphics, and animations that you can share with followers on your social media platforms. Posts are also available for Spanish-speaking audiences.
• Digital Stickers to highlight Recovery Month in social media stories and posts.
• Email Signatures to show your commitment to supporting those in Recovery.
• Virtual Meeting Backgrounds to personalize and brand your online meetings.
• Hashtags, including #RecoveryMonth, #RecoveryJourney, #RecoveryHappens, and #Recovery.  Hashtags are also available for Spanish-speaking audiences.

Please download and share these resources with your communities. Thank you for taking part in this critical effort. Remember, with the right treatment, support, and resources, recovery is REAL.
